The absolute best list of roofing suppliers I have used over the last 30 years of being in the building industry - these companies are all based in Sydney,
I've tried a few different standing seam manufacturers and these guys are the best. Not only are they the best service and support, they also do there own manufacturing, right here in Sydney.
There are other companies around like Metal Roofing Online, Metrol, No1 Roofing, Colorbond, Fielders and Lysaght.
When it comes to Standing Seam, and getting it installed on your roof - please make sure the guys that are installing know what they are doing... it can go horribly wrong if it's not done rigth.
ARC Metal Roofing are the pros, they are very neat and tidy and extremely particular when it comes to the finished product and how it looks, not just is it watertight.
Not to mention that Brent and Dave are the nicest guys to deal with - definetely recommend these guys if you need a metal roof installed, especially a standing seam roof.
There's a couple of really nice profiles in the architectural panels that really stand out. One of my favoutires is the Snap Line 45 profile, it has an eye-catching smart appearance, with a distinctive styling. It looks more modern that the rest.
Here's a few nice projects that have been completed using the SnapLine 45 cladding profile:
This project is stunning and is well worth checking out, once again it's the Snap Line 45 cladding profile by the team at No1 Architectural Panel Systems.
Another favourite cladding and roofing profile is the Snaplock, this one has been a long time favourite with architects because its ingenious yet simple design marks it as one of the premium architectural panels available in Australia today.
You have a couple of choices with the rib heights, there is 25mm or 38mm rib height and also a selection of pan widths available - for more info I speak to these guys, (No1 Roofing) they are the cladding experts.
You need to know about some important changes to the building standards covering roof and wall claddings.
The revised standard is known as AS 1562.1:2018 Design and Installation of Sheet Roof and Wall Cladding – Metal. It replaces AS 1562.1—1992.
Compliance with the new Australian Standard is mandatory for all new building projects. It’s part of a constant drive to improve the durability and weathertightness of homes in Australia.
WHAT'S NEW WITH AS 1562.1 2018?
AS 1562.1—2018 provides updated detail on best practice design and installation techniques for metal roofing (including metal tiles) and wall cladding.
Most of the new changes relate to engineering specifics such as material quality and fastening techniques.
The revised standard also covers important load bearing aspects such as frictional drag in wind, and material behaviour under snow loadings and it is applicable to both cyclone and non-cyclone regions.
Although the revisions may apply to specific types of cladding such as metal faced structural insulated panels (SIPS), other types such as stressed-skin design (diaphragm action) claddings are excluded.
